Easy breezy with the glinty afterglare of yore. Drifty transition to boot. Nice twilight septet memory making.

Hard hat 92, bluegrass plinky. Alchemical goop-laden improv. bluesy panache.

touching simplicity of row bridges the bullet-train nowness of this ripping bizarre banger. Post-capitalist freako jazz hair metal..

St. Stephen
Oct. 31, 1983
Marin Veterans Memorial Auditorium

love this version. Psychedelic as hell. You can physically feel the crowd's ecstatic reaction to hearing this rare treat. Stephen was only played 3 times in '83, having last been played just once in 79, and this here is the very final version of it in GD history.

I love this Althea. Crystal clear.

Winsome debut of this. I always love to hear it and i was delighted when Billy Strings sang it with Kreutzmann at night 2 of their Red rocks thing (watched the livestream)
